S CORPORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS
Is Your S Corporation Still Paying Off?
An S corporation can lower self-employment tax, but only when payroll, owner pay, and the returns are handled correctly. Jessica prepares the entity return and the owner returns together and documents a reasonable salary, so the savings hold up if the IRS ever asks.
Preparing these returns takes more than copying totals from a profit and loss statement. Ownership, distributions, payroll, fixed assets, loans, and capital activity all affect what the entity and its owners report.
S Corporation Tax Return Preparation
For an entity with a valid S corporation election, the package may include Form 1120-S, applicable federal schedules, shareholder Schedules K-1, and one or two identified owner Form 1040 returns. An annual reasonable compensation report addresses shareholder-employee pay when applicable; payroll filings or corrections remain separate unless included in writing.
Partnership Tax Return Preparation
For a partnership or multi-member LLC taxed as a partnership, the package may include Form 1065, applicable federal schedules, partner Schedules K-1, and one or two identified owner Form 1040 returns. A shareholder-employee reasonable compensation report does not apply to a partnership; your engagement lists the partnership-specific deliverables. Ownership changes, special allocations, and additional filings may require more work.
AN ILLUSTRATION, NOT A PROMISE
What an S Corporation Can Change: A Simple Example
Illustrative example. A consultant earns $150,000 in net profit.
- As a sole proprietor: self-employment tax applies to most of the profit, about $21,200.
- As an S corporation paying a $70,000 salary: payroll taxes apply to the salary only, about $10,700.
- Difference: roughly $10,500 a year, before the added cost of payroll and the S corporation return.
A reasonable salary depends on the owner’s role and the market for that work; $70,000 is used only for illustration. Income tax effects, such as the qualified business income deduction, also change the result. Your numbers will differ, and no result is guaranteed.

PACKAGE PRICING
S Corporation and Partnership Package Starts at $3,000
The $3,000 starting price covers one entity return, applicable K-1s, one or two identified owners’ complete federal returns, an off-season strategy meeting, and, for an applicable S corporation, an annual reasonable compensation report. Jessica sets the final scope and fixed fee in writing after reviewing the complete returns, records, and jurisdictions.
What Affects the Fee
- Entity type and number of shareholders or partners
- Condition and completeness of the accounting records
- Number of states and filing jurisdictions
- Ownership changes, capital activity, distributions, and loans
- Fixed assets and depreciation reporting
- Special allocations, basis information, or specialized schedules
- Prior-year, amended, late, or extension-related work
- Rental, other business, multistate, complex investment, digital-asset, or international items on the included owners’ complete Form 1040 returns
What the Starting Package Assumes
The $3,000 start assumes one tax year, one entity with reconciled year-end books, and one or two identified owners’ complete federal Form 1040 returns containing the covered entity’s K-1 plus routine, documented wages, interest, dividends, or deductions. Rentals, other businesses or states, complex investments or digital assets, international items, basis or asset reconstruction, prior-year work, and incomplete records may raise the fee. The proposal names the owners, complete returns, schedules, tax year, jurisdictions, and final price before work begins.
What the Reasonable Compensation Report Covers
For an S corporation shareholder-employee, the annual written report records the role, duties, available hours and compensation inputs, assumptions, and a reasoned pay recommendation. It is not an independent valuation, payroll filing, IRS approval, or audit guarantee. A deeper study is separately quoted. Partnerships do not receive this report.
Separate Work and Additional Fees
Bookkeeping cleanup, payroll filings, additional owner returns or states, amended returns, notice assistance, elections, and extra planning are separately scoped unless included in writing. Every included owner return is quoted in full. The report covers S corporation shareholder-employee pay when applicable, not partner pay. Owner payroll is referred to a payroll provider.

“Found Jessica online, and so glad I did. She’s really supported my small business, even helping me transition from an LLC to an S-Corp. She’s always communicative and professional, and gives so much more of a personable experience than large firms. She has vast knowledge and even worked for the IRS. She knows her stuff. Highly recommend.”

“My taxes were a bit of mess when I found Jessica. Since working with her, I’ve felt so confident about how everything is structured now. I have an LLC S-corp so it’s not a easy task to get it straightened out but she managed it with ease. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I highly recommend Jessica if you’re looking for a CPA. I went into the process with zero knowledge about taxes, and she made everything feel manageable. She’s incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, and you can tell she genuinely cares about doing things the right way for her clients. She really takes pride in her work and makes sure you’re set up in the best way possible.”

S Corporation and Partnership Questions
Should My LLC Elect S Corporation Status?
It depends on your profit, a reasonable salary, and the added costs. An S corporation can reduce self-employment tax when profit is well above a fair salary, but it adds payroll, a separate return, and more record keeping. Try the payroll tax estimator above, then get a full answer in a $600 tax planning session.
What Is Reasonable Compensation?
It is the salary an S corporation pays an owner who works in the business. The IRS expects it to reflect the owner’s role and the market for that work, and distributions cannot replace a fair salary. The package includes a written reasonable compensation report for S corporation shareholder-employees.
Does the $3,000 Package Include My Personal Return?
Yes. It includes one or two identified owners’ complete Form 1040 returns along with the entity return and K-1s. Rentals, other businesses, other states, or complex investments can raise the fixed fee.
When Are S Corporation and Partnership Returns Due?
For calendar-year entities, Form 1120-S and Form 1065 are due March 15, and an extension can move filing to September 15. Owners need their K-1s to finish their own returns, so the entity return comes first.
Do I Need Payroll for an S Corporation?
Yes. If an owner works in the business, the S corporation should pay a reasonable salary through payroll. Jessica refers owner payroll to a payroll provider and coordinates the numbers with your returns.
Can You Take Over From My Current CPA?
Yes. Jessica will ask for prior-year entity and owner returns, depreciation schedules, and year-end books so nothing is lost in the handoff.
Do You Handle Partnerships With More Than Two Owners?
Yes. The package covers the partnership return and K-1s for all partners and includes one or two identified owners’ personal returns. Additional owner returns are quoted in full.
